a few years back I wanted to upgrade my HP. That time I wanted a phone that was English, then the cheapest price that I could find was 470000 won!!
Wanting to show of to my g-f, I went ahead and bought it Confused
Now the phone is getting old, and with the new feature that phones have over here, I am tempted to upgrade once again.
Things like: 1.5gig hard drive (loads of mp3's there!!!),
3.4 mega pixel camera-video capability,
payment from your phone at convienent stores-subways-taxis-buses,
GPS,
banking is now available,
remote control for your T.V., and there are some out there with finger print I.D.
Of course the price is hovering around 500000, there is a price to pay for these services.
For those who have only one year to complete maybe not an option for you, but for those who are near lifers...

I tried to get the polling option to work mbut I am a relatively green with d-esl.
sorry.

I paid 350.000 for my Samsung Anycall color screen and camera phone. I could have gotten the same phone without the camera for 260.000, but figured, what the heck, might as well have a camera!

I change my phone every year.. although this phone I have had for 18 months.. this last phone I bought was the best one on the market..
its JUNE.. SAMSUNG video, color, cam phone nate bvla rblar blar..
it has it all.. cost 600.000
but I want to change it.. I heard all the new phones make a sound when the camera goes off though.. my cam is silent.. so taking those paparazzi pics coulnt be more easier.. hahahah

buy what you need man..
to me 600.000 for a phone is not expensive..
considering its something I use everyday and is always in my pocket!
so go for a good one!!

865,000!

Don't buy the SK model (LG-SD3500) You have to pay for the MP3s from the internet. They sold this model to me because they didn't know either!
So I exchanged it for the LG-LP3500 which you can directly transfer MP3 files to the Mini-SD card.

Mini-SD 32mb (upgraded to 256mb) 45,000
MP3 Player
3.21 Mega Pixel Cam
Camcorder
English Menu!


One week later the sound chip blew out. They fixed and now it's working fine. The volume isn't high enough for me though!

If you put it in Vibrate mode, there is no sound on my new Samsung when a picture is taken.

Kind of funny they made all of the hoopla about it making a sound.
